Oh, My Sore Booty!

It has been so rainy and nasty these last few days...ugghhh. Makes me so tired and lazy, and that is not cool! It's not really that cold, though. I'm thankful for that, at least! :)

So Friday I went iceskating with my best friend and her little girl. Ice skating is something that I've done all my life, since I was about 10 years old. It's so much fun! One of the few things I like about winter time.

Anyways.... after taking about 5 days off from the gym last week, I started my second cycle of the Wendler 5-3-1 program yesterday. I decided to train legs, and boy am I feeling it today! My butt and quads are SOOOOO sore I can barely move, but I love it. Grow, booty, grow!

Here's what my workout consisted of: I started with power snatches, then squats working up to a set of 6 with 160 lbs, and then 5 sets of walking lunges with 25lbs weights supersetted with weighted back extensions. I finished off with kettlebell swings, as many reps as I could get in 2 minutes.
I am so excited for Thanksgiving this week! I can't wait to eat some good food and spend time with my crazy family. :)

Remember to train intense and eat super clean this week so that you can indulge in some of your favorite foods or desserts(or both, in my case!). Holidays are to enjoy by eating good, homecooked food and spending time with family, but it does NOT mean you can completely fall off of your diet plan. Have a plate of your favorite foods and then get RIGHT BACK to your clean eating the next meal or next day or whatever. Don't feel guilty, just move on.

Well, I'll be posting a blog soon about what training goals I have for 2012, as well as a video of my training accomplishments this year!
